Another great blog. I enjoyed the read. Raymond doesn't quite seem like the player he was before the injury.

He's been like this for the majority of his career, while riding on the coat tails of Ryan Kesler. Lots of skill but doesn't put it to use, needs a change of scenery in my opinion. Lots of the talk around here is Raymond for Moen.

Ya I keep getting the "could not be found" msg

Refresh. If not, give it a few more minutes. Needs to spread through the internets

working!

If his hands ever caught up to his feet he would nearing the potential I think that he has, but getting knocked off the puck so easily (or just falling) will always be his downfall. He reminds me of an ex canuck from a long time ago, Paulin Bourdeleau (1973 I think), such potential, such speed, such a disappointment.

I think one of the reasons Vancouver has held on to Raymond is for his speed and skating. I don't see him ever becoming a first line player, anywhere. He could do better by putting more shots at the net. Raymond would have been a better choice for the Wild instead of Christensen. However, I doubt the Canucks would trade him here.
